    Anybody else have trouble with Enterprise Car Rental?

    kneeboard Recommendation

    I bought a fancy new kneeboard when training. Used it a couple times. Now I just swipe that little pad of paper and pen from the hotel rooms and keep a stack of those in the plane.

    Was flying into KLUK a week ago and got the same. STL app says "cleared for Bravo at 4500. Same frequency, another controller comes on and tells me to descend and remain clear of the Bravo only a minute or so after the clearance. No biggie as I was headed that way anyway...

    The engine quit on me today

    It is stuck at Chicago Harley over in Glenview. I was on the way up 94 to UGN in Waukegan to put it in the hangar for the winter. Looks like I'll get at least one more day of riding in. :). All in all in was a great flight otherwise.

    The engine quit on me today

    And then I pulled the motorcycle over and had it towed to the local Harley shop. :) The thread isn't 100% troll though. I WAS on the way to the airport for a 2 hr flight to 1H0 in MO. After having the motorcycle engine quit on me my mind was playing tricks on me for the first 20 - 30 min...

    Raising money for your PPL

    OP, Welcome to the forum. What you did right was ask people how they funded their training. " I am just looking for feedback from anyone with knowledgeable information on how your training was funded." What you did wrong and couldn't have known was that some people cant see past the word...

    Home Security Suggestions

    You don't have to be impossible to rob. Just be less convenient to rob than your neighbors. When we lived in a rough neighborhood we put some bars on the low windows, blocked the windows with wood to keep them from being pried open and got a dog. ...and the neighbor got robbed. Kind of same...

    Do you let other pilots land your plane?

    Nope! I'll let then taxi or take the controls in the air. Otherwise I'm not a CFI and, unless the person in the right seat is a CFI with Viking time, I just wouldn't be comfortable.
